$numRows = $result->num_rows;
$loopCount = 1;
 
$json = '{ '
	  . '"categories" : [';
 
// build json string
while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
	$json .= '{ '
		  . '"id" : "' . $row['id'] . '", '
		  . '"name" : "' . addcslashes($row['name'], '"') . '" '
		  . '}';
 
	// add comma if 	  
	if ($loopCount < $numRows) {
		$json .= ', ';
		$loopCount++;
    }
}
 
$json .= '] '
	  . '}';
 
echo $json;
